When he got home, he received a call from François. A cargo ship from the American Qichang Shipping Company was being overhauled by the shipyard and will leave the factory in the next two days. He had a preliminary contact with the ship owner and he was willing to sell it as long as the price was appropriate. François wanted to ask him to check it out and interview the ship owner.

The ship's displacement of more than 800 tons was originally carried on the US route. If you buy it, you don't need to change the ship's registration.

Yongzhi asked François to find Lu Yuesheng. The captain Du Yuesheng was looking for was the eighth of the Qinggang generation. This old man was in his early 80s and fifties and had been on the Japanese route at China Merchants Shipping Company. He was a captain for many years and had rich experience. He had decided to stop. He heard that Lu Yongzhi wanted to build a fleet, so he agreed to bring a few apprentices to help.

Lu Yongzhi didn't understand the performance of the ship, so he asked François to take Lao Ba and the others to inspect the ship. If the performance was good, he would buy it. The ship was registered under the name of Xiaomao Rubber Company.

Marceau has been listed, and it is not the best time to hype. According to historical calculations, two years later, someone will start to arrange a long report on the prospects of the rubber industry, which is to start the starting gun for the rubber market.

At that time, Lu Yongzhi would arrange to release some series of financial information and prospects for Xiaomaso's company, and start the market before other companies. This time he set the goal to calculate at a hundred times.

He had already told Maggie about this idea. After hyping Fahua's stocks last time, Maggie realized the huge profits in this industry. Now she reads securities newspapers every day as soon as she goes to work. Although she is not the original shareholder of Little Marceau Company, under the instruction of Lu Yongzhi, she has already started to buy circulating shares at a low price in the secondary market.

After arranging the retreat for Achang and the others, Lu Yongzhi thought it was time to meet Cen Chunxuan.

At this time, Cen Chunxuan was reflecting on how to hide his strength and hide his lies in his apartment in Shanghai.

I was really arrogant some time ago.

Some time ago, the Beiyang faction led by Yuan Shikai expanded its territory sharply. First, Xu Shichang was sent to occupy the three eastern provinces and incorporated the three eastern provinces into the territory of the Beiyang faction. Later, the Beiyang faction's backstage Prince Qing Yili was obsessed with this plump land in Guangdong. Since his minion, the Guangdong Customs Library, Zhou Rongyao, was slaughtered by himself, his black hands were cut off.

At that time, when Yunnan was in a state of unrest, Yi Li encouraged others to write a letter saying that if you want to govern Yunnan and Guizhou, Cen Chunxuan must be the one who wants to govern Yunnan and Guizhou. So the empress dowager issued an order and transferred himself to serve as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but he refused. The empress dowager had no choice but to change to the governor of Sichuan.

It was the only time in the history of the Qing Dynasty. It was rejected by the court as a magistrate, but was renamed to another place. It can be seen that the empress dowager's favor is no longer favorable.

I had no reason to refuse, so I took the train to Hankou, and without the permission of the court, I went north to meet Empress Dowager Cixi.

After a conversation with the Empress Dowager in the court, he was extremely moved and both of them shed tears. So the Empress Dowager issued another decree, replacing him with the Minister of Posts and Communications, and granting him special favor that he could meet the saint at any time.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Posts and Communications, he joined the confidants of Yuan Shikai who controlled the Ministry of Posts and Communications, which shocked the government and the people. At this time, the constitutional faction represented by himself and the Qingliu faction headed by the Minister of Military Affairs Zhai Hongxie had joined forces. Relying on the favor of the empress dowager, it was already just around the corner to overthrow Yuan Shikai and his backstage boss.

Unexpectedly, I met my teammate. First, the Qingliu School used the bombshell to attack Prince Qing Yiliu. The evidence of the Yang Cuixi case was not implemented and was overturned. Later, a case of Zhai Hongxi leak occurred, and the news that the empress dowager wanted to deal with Yiliu's party was exposed to the Times. The British minister's wife directly asked the empress dowager's true or false news.

The good situation was ruined by the Qingliu School. Zhai Hongxi resigned from office and returned to Changsha to retire. He wrote a book and never became an official in his life.

He was sent out of Beijing and re-elected as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The battle ended with Yi Li and Yuan Shikai's complete victory, and the original balance of victory had already tilted towards him.

I was unwilling to accept it, so I had to say that I was sick and refused to take up my post, and hid in Shanghai to recuperate and observe the situation.

Cen Chunxuan thought that as long as the empress dowager's favor was there, no one could defeat him. Now he could only wait for the opportunity.

He is summarizing the gains and losses alone. The staff came to report, and Lu Yongzhi asked for advice.

"Ah, he has come back from abroad? Invite him in."

Cen Chunxuan is very optimistic about this young man. He does not study but has talent in the world. He often does amazing things, but he is too casual and has no big ambitions. Otherwise, it would be really good to recommend diplomatic talents to the court."

Lord Cen, seeing your rosy complexion and magnificent expression, how can you feel at all sick? It seems that recuperation is fake, but is it true to be patient and wait for the current situation?"

When you enter the door, bow your hand as a polite, and then say with a smile.

The boy is ruthless and has no respect when he sees his boss."

Cen Chunxuan felt relieved when he saw Lu Yongzhi speak. This was the only one among his staff who was casual with him, so he was not angry."

You're here just in time, and I'm just about to talk to you."

Cen Chunxuan made a gesture and asked him to sit down. The servant brought a cup of tea, then went out and took the door with him.

I have heard about what happened recently. What do you think?" Cen Chunxuan was about to find someone to talk to.

"The world's situation has been decided, why bother with the effort?" Lu Yongzhi said casually."

How do you say this?" Cen Chunxuan frowned.

"I can't see what the constitutional system that the adults are determined to promote in recent years has become? The royal cabinet, is this the result that the adults want?" Cen

Chun Xuan was silent. The Empress Dowager finally agreed to the constitution, but she created a royal cabinet. Among the thirteen cabinet members, there were seven royal families, two Manchu powerful people, and only four Han people. The biggest consequence of this incident became that a large number of people who supported the constitution were completely disappointed with the Qing court and turned around to support the revolutionary party.

From the bottom of my heart, Cen Chunxuan was also extremely disappointed with this.

"After all, constitutional establishment has begun." Cen Chunxuan defended.

"The entire Qing Dynasty was supported by the empress dowager. A hundred years later, look at the Qing Dynasty, can anyone be a good job?" Lu

He used it without mercy to point out the biggest hidden danger of the Qing Dynasty now."

Isn’t there any Emperor Guangxu? He still supports constitutionalism.”

It’s useless, it’s hard to support the beam alone. He is facing the entire decaying and declining Manchu powerful group. Could it be that he can still abandon them all?”

Lu Yongzhi knew that the Empress Dowager was about to be buried for peace, and Emperor Guangxu was soon to be passed away. Cen Chunxuan now has secretly had private contact with some people from the overseas constitutional factionists, and also brought Kang Youwei's son-in-law Mai Menghua to take office in Sichuan. These trends all show that Cen Chunxuan has begun to make plans for the post-Civilian era.

Once the empress dowager dies, Emperor Guangxu will inevitably recall Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others. These constitutionalists who are exiled overseas are also waiting for this moment.

But they all underestimated Cixi's methods, and she would not let Emperor Guangxu die behind her. She used arsenic to poison Guangxu first, and then she died twenty hours later. In the past twenty hours, Emperor Guangxu and Cixi passed away one after another, which became a big strange story in Qing history.

Yes, Lu Yongzhi couldn't tell Cen Chunxuan, and don't press the treasure on Guangxu.

"I heard that the adults are now very close to the one-party members of the reformist party?"

Chunxuan asked alertly: "What does it mean?"

The Empress Dowager hated the royalists to the core. Even if the Empress Dowager is extremely close to him, he should pay attention. As long as he is taught to the Empress Dowager, he will be destined to be unable to protect himself!"

Whether Cen Chunxuan met Liang Qichao in Shanghai for a while has been entangled in historical materials.

Chunxuan disagreed. He believed too much about his relationship with Lafayette.

“What advice do you have?”

Go to Guangdong and Guangxi to take office, consolidate the foundation, and wait for the times to change." Lu Yongzhi said firmly.
